Really fascinating to dig into some academic policy engagement data & write this @CAPE_acuk report on university staff experiences; loads of examples of lived experience of what it's like to engage - rewarding, stimulating but sometimes hard work...

A lesson in #dataviz: the students have spoken! 30 minutes for marking a 2000 word essay is THREE TIMES LONGER than its allocated for our Teaching Assistants. If it takes longer? Pay drops below minimum wage. #UCUStrikesBack #FourFights

See our amazing staff supporting #UCUstrike despite harsh weather - for good reasons. University staff needs better working conditions. Thanks for standing there! May they agree on resolution soon so we all can continue to do excellent research and education. ⁦@UCLprotest⁩
